Last year knowing what the wind forecast was, I selected a hang site back in the woods. I probably was back in the woods 50 or 60 feet. It also was a little on the lee side of the hill. I hardly noticed the wind. Site selection is critical when the wind is a problem. I also have a large rectangular tarp. When I expect wind, I point my feet to the wind and close down the foot end of the tarp. When I have done this I have very little problem with the wind.

Yep!

I've since had my HH hex tarp modded by 2QZQ so that I've got silnylon doors on either end, with velcro so that I can completely close an end off easily and quickly if the winds or blowing rain/snow pick up.

And I agree with the comments on site selection too. I personally didn't have any issues with the wind, but that's because my tarp was perpendicular to the direction it was coming from, and low to the ground so it wasn't blowing on nor under me.

Looking forward to this hang...matter of fact, Weasel is going to be camping out at Woodridge for the next couple of days, and I might head out there Saturday to hang with him.

If anyone wants a "practice run" a month early, I'm having a gathering out on my property the weekend of Nov 9-11. This will include some folks from BCUSA and maybe a few Beckerheads from BF, but there will be trees... I'll even build an outhouse for the occasion!
